<p>In surrogacy cases, the family court can be asked to make a parental order to transfer
legal parental responsibility from the birth mother, and her legally recognised partner
if she has one, to the couple that the child will live with as its parents once it
is born.</p><p> </p><p>The Department publishes figures for the number of children
involved in parental orders, which are available in Family Courts Statistic Quarterly
at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/family-court-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2018"
